	NUAGES by Django Reinhardt

	tablature by Jonathan Byrd

This is a simple chord-melody arrangement of one of Django's
best-known, and most beautiful compositions.

My notation is pretty standard, and shouldn't require much
explanation.  Above each tab chart I have listed the chord changes,
and the places where the downbeats fall.  Two chords have been marked
with the note "trem" to indicate that I like to tremolo pick those
chords.  Django's tremolo picking was so fast and dynamic that he
could create swelling crescendos much like a horn section.  The
picking technique is kind of like shaking out a match.  I sometimes
play this song fingerstyle, too.  Some of the chords are tough to
flatpick because of muted strings in the middle of fretted strings.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
